Dr. Edward Omane Boamah, the Director of Elections and IT for the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has strongly criticized the Electoral Commission (EC) as the general election approaches.

He alleges that the EC has not sufficiently prepared for the upcoming elections.

Dr. Omane Boamah's critique highlights what he sees as shortcomings in the EC's IT and statistics departments.

He contends that these deficiencies could compromise both the integrity and effectiveness of the electoral process.

The former Communications Minister pointed to recent typographical errors in the EC's data from the last voter registration exercise as evidence of the Commission's failures.

He voiced significant concerns that such issues might affect the accuracy of the election results.

In a Facebook post on Monday, July 29, Dr. Omane Boamah urged the EC to address these problems without delay.

He emphasized the urgent need for corrective measures to be implemented before the general election.

"I submit to you that the IT and Statistics outfits of the Electoral Commission of Ghana remain the weakest links going into the 2024 elections."

"Think about the numerous EC's incorrect figures that the National Elections and IT Directorate of the NDC has corrected over the past few months," he said.
